Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the cooked ham into small, bite-sized pieces and place it in a large mixing bowl.

Pour the dressing mixture over the ham and vegetables in the large bowl. Gently fold everything together until evenly coated.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if desired.

Step 7

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
